Its that cold in Indiana? Winter is my favorite time to play paintball, and my local field remains quite populated during the cold months.

No, It was like 46 degrees today. Some places just close down in the winter because there isn't enough interest, and not nearly as many people play when it gets colder.

I keep solving one problem with my shockers (eigenbolts), then another one will arise. Anyone know what my problem could be if I air them up and the first shot the bolt only moves half way, or not at all? It'll just puff and the air doesn't leave the bolt. then after a certain amount of shots it fires and then go back to half cycling or no cycling and so on. I've tried wiping all the lube off and putting less on it several times, even tried it with more lube than usual and got the same results. Hpr is set at 175 with both, I've tried adjusting it and that was no help to the problem.

I'm thinking it's the orings I swapped on it, because messing with the amount of lube and messing with my dwell and abs settings aren't making much of a difference at all.

Any thoughts are welcome. I'm down to about 800 psi in my tank though...

I think I had the same problem, but I got my shocker running today and it is a champion. Though I don't know what fixed it, I changed the battery, lubed the two bolt guide o-rings with dow 33 (used the orange ones that came with the bolt), and put some oil on the bolt oring. After that, it shot perfectly.

My shockers apparently magically work no matter what I do to 'em. I don't remember any of them breaking on me.... ever....

Using a gun that's been hardly maintained and tossed from person to person more than a village whore is hardly a fair way to compare the marker.

I'm ordering a few different types of orings, that way I can mess around with them and see which ones work best with the eigenbolts. I think my orings are too tight, or I'm not using the right size rings somewhere and it's causing "Pneumatic lockout" and keeping them from shooting. They were working fine with the old orings I had in them, I just wanted to do a completely fresh rebuilds on both of them and afterwards they both started acting up the same way. So it's gotta be the orings I used I'm thinking.

I guess you shouldn't fix what isn't broken

That's the problem with the eigenbolts. They have so little margin for error it only takes something like the wrong material o-ring to cause problems. Reminds me of my experience with my friends G6r and a few Vics I've seen at the field.

reminds me of my old DM9. Even a change in temperature meant the difference between a fine shooting marker, and a bolt sticky- shoot down mess. Thats why I like my poppets. And oddly, nothing like that happens when I use my old PM5.

You gotta love shockers. Considering you can get stock or even upgraded sft shockers for around $200, add $100 for a tournament capable board and a lurker eigenbolt, and another $50-$100 for whatever other upgrades you want such as a new trigger and you have one of the best used spool valve markers on the market. I'd probably take my shocker over pretty much every $400 or less used marker out there.

Heck the shocker I got for 165 has a BH board. One thing I've been wondering is where to buy a trigger though? I havent really seen any around, for the sft at least.

The NDZ Slik triggers are my favorite I've found, Punishers have some but only in blue. You can find other triggers on a bunch of sites. If you're willing to spend $50 Critical has a sft trigger that's probably pretty nice considering its critical.

Cool, I found some on ebay for $20 Have you tried the CP triggers? It's around the same price, and I'm just wondering how they feel. Slightly different design which I think I like more.

I'm used to rake triggers, but I dont have too much of a preference. The main thing I'm concerned about is I find the sft trigger frame to be small already, so if my trigger had a bump in it it'd take up some room. The size of the trigger frame and crappy trigger are really my only(minor) problems with the shocker. I absolutely love everything else about it.

That's one of the reasons I'm going to Shego my Hybrid. The Hybrid frame has a proprietary trigger, so I can't change it from the scythe. Also, the Tadao board has one of the heaviest microswitches I've ever encountered; it's nearly impossible to walk it normally. Plus with the Ego frame I get a screen on the board.

I have the Violent trigger for my eXTCy, which is a scythe. I would like to try a rake trigger on it, but there isn't one that uses bearings.

I could actually hit a consistent 13bps with the stock trigger on my vibe. Never really felt like I needed a different one. I plan on keeping my shocker for a long time though, so I dont mind putting some money into it.

So you're going to shego one shocker and I remember you saying you wanted to mech another. How many shockers are you going to own?

As to triggers, my second gun I owned was a Etek 3 and after that I had an Ego 9 so I got used to the PE triggers. Add in the Geo+ I had, my ebladed Karni and my Geo 3 and I've just gotten really used to PE triggers. In between the Ego and Geo I had two different Bob Longs, both with scythe style tirggers and a legend, so I've not really used a rake or sling trigger since my Azodin Blitz other then the stock sft trigger.

I've only got two shockers right now, the Hybrid and a Stock purple/black NXT. The NXT I got for cheap cause it had cycling issues, just needed a few o-rings swapped out and it was good to go, but I really want to mech it instead of keeping it as a backup shocker.
